Cave Refuge

He had thought that the chains trapping such a large object would be extremely sturdy, and he was ready for the prospect of returning without achievement.

But what he never expected was that the bundle of chains, which fell from the sky and smashed into the water without any damage, would shatter in an instant when he touched the chains with a saw.

Moreover, it was not just the chains where the saw made contact that shattered, but all the chains shattering simultaneously. Most importantly, after the chains broke apart, even though they fell into the sea, they vanished without a trace like flying ash in the blink of an eye.

When the man realized the chains had disappeared, he instantly understood that he'd caused big trouble. Originally prepared to flee the scene immediately, curiosity got the better of him as to what was trapped by the chains, and he subconsciously decided to satisfy his own curiosity before leaving.

Just as he prepared to take a closer look at what exactly was bound by the chains, he was suddenly enveloped by a shadow and then lost consciousness.

After the chains on the sea floor vanished, the sea surface, which was originally deep blue, suddenly turned pitch black as if contaminated by ink.

Whether it was Zachary observing the situation from midair or those standing on the deck waiting to dive in and investigate, they all immediately noticed the eerie color change of the seawater.

Upon detecting this change in the sea, Zachary immediately used Divine Sense to probe into the depths.

It's a pity that even with Zachary's swift reaction, he still wasn't as quick as the thing under the water surfacing.

The originally calm sea surface suddenly erupted with huge waves, and a humanoid creature stood up from the water at an extremely fast speed.

When that giant humanoid creature stood up, Zachary was amazed to find that the sea surface only reached its waist, revealing its naked upper body completely above water.

Observing the four pairs of arms arranged side by side from shoulders to waist on its upper body, Zachary wasn't sure how to address this monster.

Once it had firmly steadied itself, it casually glanced around.

From the creature's gaze, Zachary sensed that although he was as tiny as an insect compared to its body, the creature not only saw him suspended in midair but also noticed the ships lingering around.

As Zachary speculated what the creature would do next, all eight of its hands opened, revealing eight large mouths in its palms.

While Zachary was guessing what the creature intended to do, acidic liquid was continuously sprayed out from the mouths on its palms.

This acid was directed not only at Zachary, but also at all the humans who were still present in the area.

Facing such a direct attack, not only Zachary, who was in the sky and maneuvered the Flying Swords to easily dodge, but also those on the sea surface riding Companion Spiritual Treasures, managed to evade the acid attack effortlessly.

It was unclear whether the monster was just lucky with its attack, or whether it never intended to ensnare them in the first place.

So after the monster spit out all its acid, it ceased to care about the life or death of Zachary and the others, and directly walked towards the brightly lit Magic Capital Base.

Seeing the large creature, despite being in the deep-sea area, walk towards the Magic Capital Base as if on solid ground, everyone's face almost broke into a cold sweat.

Although the huge creature left directly after attacking casually, showing no intention of continuing the assault, it was now heading towards the Magic Capital Base.

Though they didn't know what the creature's intent was with the Magic Capital Base, they knew that the Magic Capital Base was their home, after all, their entire families were inside it.

Nobody wanted to gamble their family's safety on what the massive creature wanted to do next.

Because Zachary had informed his parents of the situation beforehand, they were most likely not asleep at this time, but rather waiting on the rooftop, looking towards this direction.

Zachary felt that, given the creature's enormous size, it should have been locked down by the Officials when it first appeared, and they should realize soon that the gigantic monster was heading towards the location of the Magic Capital Base.

The Officials weren't fools; upon learning of the big creature's target, they would immediately organize people to arrange for others to temporarily leave the Magic Capital Base, get to safety first away from danger, and then return to the Magic Capital Base once the crisis had been resolved.

In contrast to foreign dramas that depict apocalypse or natural disasters where no one leads ordinary people on how to escape when disaster strikes, and their Officials or Noble Clans, would take advantage of the advance notice to leave the danger zone before others.

With their responses as a contrast, China has demonstrated textbook-like personnel evacuation; even though those with official status received the news early, they didn't evacuate the Magic Capital Base ahead of others. Instead, they followed the Officials' arrangements, went to various intersections to direct traffic.

At this time, the most important thing is order; as long as everyone follows the command and doesn't cause chaos, efficiency would naturally be greatly improved.
